Emmy winner Fontana is writing, and Lumet is set to direct the project, with Levinson and Fontana executive producing. The plot of the movie, now in development, is described as crime and punishment post-Sept. 11.

Strip Search marks the first collaboration between filmmakers Levinson and Lumet, who have 11 Oscar nominations between them. For Lumet, who got his start as a director in television in the 1950s, Strip Search will be the first telefilm he has directed since his adaptation of Eugene O'Neill's play The Iceman Cometh for CBS in 1960. Lumet most recently executive produced and directed the A&E series 100 Centre Street. He is currently working on the feature" The Set-Up, starring Halle Berry and James Gandolfini. Levinson and Fontana, who are under a deal at HBO, most recently executive produced the drama series project Baseball Wives for the cable network. Fontana won a writing Emmy award for his work on Homicide: Life on the Street. Levinson and Fontana are repped by UTA.
